One of the letter identification games we have been playing in reading is called the "Spoon Game". This fun, hands-on approach to identifying upper and lowercase letters could easily be played at home too! All I did was use a permanent marker on spoons. Uppercase letters are written on colored spoons and the corresponding lowercase letter is written on a clear plastic spoon. At the start of the game all of the letters are mixed up. Students work together to find and match the letters. As the place the clear spoon onto the uppercase match they say the letter sound aloud. To make things more tricky, I ask the students to place all of the "matches" in proper ABC order.
Bravo Readers!
